Great article. Stupendous by any standard. I will also add that the GMA should rather consider the Cuban doctors as their allies instead of rivals. Had this been the case, it would not be possible for the govt to even consider drafting additional Cuban doctors to replace the striking Ghanaian doctors.

I think that the GMA should henceforth stop being petty and dwelling on issues such as "I am prettier (more competent) than you". Beauty (competence) is in the eyes of the beholder so they should leave the judgment to us the public. The GMA should know that their organization is or can be a major player in the nations affairs and they should be serious and be politically strategic in all their endeavors. I do not know much of the GMA organizational set-up but but I suggest that they should hire legal officers and PR persons (not necessarily qualified but good)and financial consultants.

Only coming out into the public domain on issues of pay makes them look petty. The management, administrative, procurement and operational challenges in the health sector are huge and the leadership of the GMA should take the leadership high ground in putting constant pressure on govt to resolve these issues. Once again great article Nii Teiko.

I find this article a bit too emotional, with bad tenses and long- winded sentences that hardly make sense.

Nana Amoah, I read this article and I didnt have any problem about it. In fact my opinion is that it addressed squarely the issues at hand. I wish there were more of such on this platform. Please give us instances where there were bad tenses.

If you have a problem with the comprehension of the English language dont behave like the prostitute who was protesting about being paid with false currency. If it was too deep for you, leave it to those of us who can handle it. I think you should try Mills and Boon or Obelix and Asterix or better still, the Mickey mouse series. It would suit you better.

Cuban doctors earn US$25 a month in Cuba and may only be employed by the state (there is no private sector in the Communist island). They are offered minimal material incentives to go serve abroad and the Cuban government confiscates the vast majority of the payment received from Ghana for each doctor. They must leave their families behind in Cuba (hostages) and serve in conditions akin to modern slavery. Freedom-loving Ghanians should not stand for this abuse. Plus, look into their qualifications, Cuba is mass-producing doctors to earn revenues overseas and the quality of their training is questionable.

Another free-range Western imperialist propaganda loose cannon.

The govt of Ghana sends our military personnel on peace-keeping duties and withholds some of the payments due them for national development purposes. Does this also amount to confiscation? The families of these peace-keeping military personnel are also left behind - are they hostages in their own homes and country?

So what you are saying is that when others come here and work in terrible third world conditions that Ghanaian workers have been working in all these years, it amounts to slavery? Are you correct? Foreigners come to help you and you "freedom loving" deprived people dont understand why they should help you overcome your difficulties? What is your level of education by the way?

So is it now a crime to mass produce anything for revenue? Are mass-producing companies like TOYOTA, NOKIA, SAMSUNG, HONDA, DELL, HP and the rest of them listening to this mentally retarded slave?

Irene Robert or whatever you call yourself, are you a white lady or what? What happened to your African name, identity and culture? Obviously you are a hopelessly brainwashed victim of colonial domination. It is rather you who has been emotionally and psychologically kidnapped by your historical oppressors and manipulated to serve them as slave against your own interests for the rest of your miserable life.

That is what has crippled you from the ability to think logically as an African. If on the other hand you are not an African, then mind your own business.

What is being discussed here is serious business and I would advise you to rather go and play with your barbie dolls and read Benny Hinn religious tracts. Shame on you.

THE CUBAN DOCTORS ARE AT LEAST HUMAN. THEY DO NOT NEED TO KNOW YOU OR RECEIVE FINANCIAL INDUCEMENT TO BE INTERESTED IN THEIR PATIENTS. YOU CANNOT SAY SAME ABOUT MOST GHANAIAN MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN PUBLIC HOSPITALS, VAMPIRE LEACHES.
NO WONDER THEY ARE KILLING THE POOR AS A WAY OF BLACKMAILING GOVERNMENT FOR CASH AND TO SUPPORT AN EVIL POLITICAL CASE. THEIR CLOSE RELATIVES AND FELLOW WEALTHY GHANAIANS CAN ALWAYS GO TO THE PRIVATE CLINICS WHERE THEY SPEND MOST OF THEIR DAYS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PUBLIC PURSE.
THEIR DAY WILL COME, WHEN THE PUBLIC SHALL RISE UP.

No headways being made with this strike is a pity and all Ghanaians and at large africans should feel ashamed about this strike of the doctors, teachers, pharmacists and so forth.
